Checkmate - 3D Animation I Final

Here is a lil' something I made for school. It took me a long time to make! It was fun to work on, though.
I didn't make it with any music/sfx in mind but then decided to add some at the last minute. As with pretty much everything I make, the music comes from Jason Covenant. He is great. jasoncovenant.com
The textures and whatnot were made in Photoshop CS5, the models/lights/animation renders with Maya 2012. Frames were compiled in AfterEffects, and then I jumped into Final Cut Pro for the first time to slap on the music and sfx. This was about a 4 week project, though one of those weeks was much more intensive than the others. :)
Also, this is pretty much why Phanta has been delayed as much as it is. My apologies! Hopefully this makes up for it, a little bit.

Yes!

[@AwakeAndSing369]

So glad you added music! This could be an awesome plot for a Pixar's next short ;-))).

@HowToMakeAnythingTV What do you mean "nobody likes except you"? According to the comments and the number of dislikes, you're the only one that doesn't like this.
